"Cubes#06"
I tried to express contradicting elements such as photo and graphic; planar and three-dimensional; static and dynamic. Instead of expressing an image by photographing a particular subject, I perceived it as a two-dimensional art form consisting of light, thereby creating an image using only the light from the lightbox.

Nominee

"Painted Petals"
I wanted to show the contrast between the petal and the end of the petal. It looked almost as if the petal had been dipped in to paint and had splashed a little on the edges. I wanted to show the ‘sprayed’ effect as it is very unique to this type of flower. I love the way you can still see the centre texture of the flower head and just a slight impression of the stem.

"Squashed Blueberries #2"
The blueberries were baked first, then squashed on a clay background.
